The Awesome! success served to bankroll the Hangin’ Loose sessions which took place circa 1989 in Marco’s studios (the former RCA studios) in Montreal. A few changes had taken place; the guitar chair is gone, on drums is Dave Robbins and on bass, Dave Gelfand. The trumpets are 4 in number with Joe Sullivan in the lineup with the rest of the horns unchanged.The charts are 11 in number featuring 4 original Vogel pieces, the ballad Marion’s Theme , a mixed-motive Doggy Bag , a 12-bar shuffle Hangin’ Loose and a blues tribute Song For Cootie . The balance include classics like Moe Kaufman’s Swingin’ Shepherd Blues , a quick ride on Juan Tisol’s Caravan and Jerome Kern’s Let Me Love You . There’s Like What Is This (an up-tempo take on the changes of What Is This Thing Called Love? ), and a smooth medium Strollin’ .That’s about it, two more great albums from Le Jazz Big Band!
